When you read the things that I do, this tends to be a much bigger deal than it seems. I heard death threats, serious ones at that, when someone tried to talk to me about the book. Sad isn't it.
On a completely different note. A friend of mine is going through a rough spot. I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with her last night. I really enjoyed talking with her, and I only wish there was something more I could have done to make her feel better about the idiots in her life.
